It's a story about two brothers Rob and VicGrew up in the world aloneGod forgot about them hmmForced to fend for themselvesIn the Rotten Apples of New York CityThis story takes place in 1993

How many nigs did we get so far?I couldn't care to countJust snatch em up quickIf he scream I'ma put him outI put the heat to his face to SHUT HIM UPSo I can dig him outWent in his pockets and got the cash in some big amountsI looked him dead cold in his eyes, *blast* without carinIf money speak, that explain the voices I've been hearinYou ain't really have to kill himYo God he moved -- but I liedDamn, there's our sick stick-up turned homicideSo? That's the way our momma diedIs you with me I'ma slide

[both]So we slid, had to get our gameplan togetherCause this little bit of stickup loot ain't lastin us foreverDesperate, on the edge with no place to goWe can't go back to the hood we stuck up everyone we know

Chorus: *sung*

For the love of money, people will rob from each otherFor the love of money, people will steal from their motherFor the love of money, people will kill their own brother..
